What’s for Dinner? A Thanksgiving Day Nature Walk

Thursday, November 22nd, 2012

Thirty people joined FPNL President Karen Linder for a Thanksgiving Day morning exploration of the Mapleton Preserve.

We  looked for items on the menu for Thanksgiving dinner for the animals and birds at Mapleton Preserve, and found a rich buffet, including berries, evergreen cones, ginkgo nuts, and “syrup,” as evidenced by a trunk peppered with holes made by a sapsucker!

An alert youngster spotted what proved to be a praying mantis case on this beech tree.
